Ming Dunn and Horace Moore rehearse for the Stars of New York Dance competition and Fundraiser, Friday, November 13, at the Kumble Theater

On Friday, November 13, at the Kumble Theater for the Performing Arts, Stars of New York Dance will open for its 6th annual performance, honoring Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams.

This thrilling dance competition pairs local “stars” in the community with choreographers at local dance companies. Each couple must quickly learn a dance routine and then compete against other couples for prize money they will then donate to an arts organization of their choice.

Check out this exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage of Horace Moore, executive director and founder of Chionesu Bakari Program for young men and choreographer Ming Dunn, of Synergies of Dance Company as they rehearse for the big night on Friday.

Do you think they will win? Check out other footage of dance rehearsals here, and stay tuned to The Brooklyn Reader for more rehearsal footage!
